I have taught HS English for 26 years, adjunct English Secondary Methods/Practicum/Student Teaching Mentor 16 years, and Field Placement Mentor 2 years. I relocated last year from a rural to suburban area and the first position I took is not a good fit. I am finding it challenging to obtain a new position (made it to a couple demo rounds, no offer, applying to every position I find), wonder if years of experience contribute. A HS English Instructional Coach position just opened locally that I would love…would I be a good candidate? All advice greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/Newyorkwestern [link] [comments]

I have been a nurse/RN for close to 5 years now with my ADN. Nursing school was absolutely brutal for me, like I genuinely fought my way to that NCLEX. So much so that I had genuinely no desire to ever go through nursing school again. Fast forward to now, I’ve truly found my place, fortunately yet unfortunately in the acute care setting in a large hospital….where the BSN is required. I’ve been absolutely dreading it. I finally got to a point mentally where I just finally took the dive and started an online program. And immediately out of the gate, I get a 76% on the first “big” assignment we had. Now I’m just riddled with anxiety because what the heck have I gotten myself into??? I haven’t written anything in APA format since 2021. And I know there’s nurses who are going back to school and they’ve been out of school for 20+ years and I literally can’t imagine what kind of issues they’re having. But holy crap it’s literally giving me like imposter syndrome LOL. How did I do this before?
I am on the struggle bus. I had an RN position but was on long term disability and got let go when they were taken over by another hospital (about two weeks before I was cleared to go back to work). I have been trying since April to get a new position and no dice. What the heck is going on in San Diego? I am finishing my MSN (just 100 hours of preceptorship to complete) and recently finished my WOCN and am taking the exams now. Ive been applying to floor nursing jobs and wound jobs if they come up (although that’s less likely for me to get since I haven’t passed my exams for that yet). What’s a girl gotta do to get a job these days as an experienced nurse??? submitted by /u/Practical_Platform76 [link] [comments]
I recently was released from my new grad residency program in a NICU due to failure to progress during orientation at the speed that was expected by leadership. I would rather not dwell on the specifics of this as I put every ounce of effort I could into improving and ultimately the unit turned out to not be a good fit. I am devastated and unsure what comes next for me. This experience has made me realize that acute care may not be for me, but I’m unsure of what other options there as so many people say new grads must pay their dues and do bedside in order to explore other areas of nursing. I am very passionate about public health and have a prior degree in public health so I would love to pursue public health or community nursing but know that those positions are competitive as well. I would really appreciate any advice or recommendations from people on how I can make a game plan to bounce back from this and what steps I can take career wise. Thanks so much, looking forward to the wis
Hi everyone! I am going to take A&P2 as a 5-weeks summer course starting next week, but I feel really anxious. I don't know if I will be able to do it. I'm taking it with a hard professor at a local community college before going to university in the fall. I've taken him before in the spring, and I got a 100 in his class so I did pretty good. But I feel really anxious after looking at the syllabus. There's like quizzes and exams back to back for lecture and lab. I don't know if I will be able to handle lecture and lab when I struggled with that with A&P1 during a regular semester... submitted by /u/Ancient-Resolve-1707 [link] [comments]

Edit #2 Thank you all for the kind words. Unfortunately we made the decision to let him go. After making it through the Cath he coded in the ICU. They gave him more epi than is standard and it wasn't doing anything. I couldn't put him through any more suffering. I am a later in life career change nurse. Just passed the NCLEX at the end of May. Haven't even started my new job yet. My husband had an inferior STEMI this evening. I'm actually in the ICU waiting room while he is in the Cath lab. I saw him collapse and immediately did what I was supposed to do. He collapsed in an awkward position so I was trying to get him to where I could do CPR while on the phone with 911. But I panicked. This was the first time I ever had to do CPR. I don't think I did enough and now I'm questioning if I should even be taking care of people. As a nurse how do you get past the guilt of treating a family member?. He went into cardiac arrest 6 times at the ED and it took a while to get him stable enough to g
I started off in med surg as a new grad in 2021. Worked nights and with the second big wave of COVID, I was getting mandated 1-2x/week. So I burnt out very quickly and didn’t last long. I left in July 2022, went to the OR for 6 months, and then realized my mental health was at its ultimate worse and decided that outpatient was the best for me in that time. I’ve been working in outpatient OB/GYN for 3.5 years now. Originally I loved outpatient because of the stability. Working 8-5, Mon-Fri and no weekends or major holidays. I’ve been able to truly focus on both my mental and physical health after spending all of nursing school and first year of nursing neglecting myself. I feel the better than I’ve ever had before!! But now I’m starting to think I want to go back to the bedside. While outpatient providers stability, working the typical 8-5 is now starting to drain me (I never minded the 12 hour shifts). I love women’s health, so I think I want to possibly go into L&D or postpartum, but

Honestly, I’m starting to get a little burnt out. I never thought I would say that because I’ve only been a nurse for two years, but recently our unit, good ol medsurg tele, specifically night shift, has been stepped and trashed on as the hospital dumping grounds. I’m not sure if it’s because we got a new unit manager a few months ago, or if it’s because of things out of her control like hospital staffing on other units, and it’s likely the latter, but when I’m telling you that every. single. one. of. us. have been floating a minimum of once a week… sometimes twice a week… If I’m not floated, a lot of the time we will have 7 nurses scheduled on for a night, they will float three of them, leaving us with 4 nurses for a 32 bed unit and we will all get flexed up to six patients. Their excuse every time is “the other units are short staffed and we are overstaffed for the census”. Okay well that’s the census at 5pm before the emergency room has time to fill up. Come 8pm when we’re all doing

Hi there, I've been trying to get a job as a High School Special Ed Teacher, and I just got my Master's Degree. However, none of the schools I applied to have gotten to the point of giving me a job interview. Even the school where I did my Practicum at and regularly subbed for rejected me. Nothing is showing up on my District's job forum anymore, let alone a good Special Ed job. I think what is really hurting me is that the Department of Education wanted me to wait to apply for my teaching license (I still don't have one).

i'm currently an undergrad planning to become a high school english teacher. i also want to pursue a doctorate in english. i know a doctorate isn't required for teaching, and i'm not under any illusions about the job market for those aspirations. if i pursued a one, it would only be if it were fully funded. i'm interested in a doctorate because i genuinely love literature, reading, research, and learning. i like the idea of spending several years studying a subject in depth and contributing to scholarship. but my goal is still to teach high school, and i'm wondering if wanting this path is naive or misguided of me. i was wondering if anyone here has taken a similar path. are there any k-12 teachers who taught after a non-education-related doctorate? what made you pursue it? do you feel it was worth it? has it changed your teaching in meaningful ways? did schools ever view your doctorate as a positive, a negative, or neither when you were applying? i'd love to hear your experiences and

MeeMaw is 102, has dementia, is A&O x1, has no teeth, has no bladder/ bowel control, weighs 86 pounds, and has Afib w/ RVR. The doctor came in to discuss changing Meemaw to DNR. Family said NO! She’s fully aware of everything (A&O x1 doesn’t mean she’s number 1)! She has a lot left to live for, and we’re just trying to get rid of her, according to tbe family. If she codes, we’re going to end up breaking every rib in her body. When I first saw her age and full code, I thought it was a typo. I fucking cannot do this shit. She’s going to code and end up in ICU taking up extra resources because the family refuses to let her go. What could be a peaceful transition is going to be a painful event - if she even survives it. I can’t see her surviving a code at this point. submitted by /u/Unlimitedpluto [link] [comments]

I am a new California teacher based in Los Angeles (just got my Preliminary Single Subject Social Science Credential late October, 2025), and I've been applying every day to every opening in every district up and down the Golden State on EdJoin, from Oakland to Bakersfield to Clearlake and Humboldt. So far, the number of responses, even automated ones telling me that they received my application or whatever, can be counted in a single hand. I know there is lots of drama going on with the local School Districts, from LAUSD's messiness to whatever is going on with Pasadena, and Social Science isn't really that in demand, but it can't be that bad that I'm getting ghosted by every district and charter school I applied to. submitted by /u/EcoSoso [link] [comments]
I am a sped teacher, and I just wrapped up my first year in may. first semester I wanted to quit every day and was crying during my plans. The second semester was infinitely better. Part of that I attribute to starting anxiety meds. However, I have spent so much of this summer dreading the end of July. I have been keeping myself busy, spending lots of times with friends and loved ones and doing activities I enjoy. But beneath all of that is a constant worry.

Hi all! This ones been bugging me since last night. 2 entries from Saunders, Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination book. First calculation, on hand is noted in the question as 10mg, so naturally H is 10 Second calculation, on hand is 0.4 mg (per tablet). But the H in the formula is 1 grain.... Now we know 1 grain is 60mg, but 1 grain is not the "on hand" in the scenario give, but 0.4 mg. So why is 1 grain the H there and why is the vehicle 60 grams when V is "1 tablet"?

I taught for nearly a decade in a pretty tough urban district. If I said which city, you’d probably be like… oh, yeah. The building where I worked for the majority of that stretch was one where locals would have negative reactions when I told them. Like “oh where do you teach? ….. oh…. (makes scrunched face).” Not that public perception matters, we had a lot of great and rewarding times, too. But it was probably a top five toughest HS in our state in terms of dysfunction, chaos, attendance, gun stuff, gang stuff. Here’s a quick list of my worst times.

I work on a med surg unit. Had an admission (my 5th pt) get admitted with active DKA.

Anion GAP 26, bicarb 13, BG on admission was in the 300s. Such a sweet patient, when I left her labs were all good and oncoming RN was to discuss plan of care with day provider as patient could likely come off drip Is this appropriate for med surg?

Everyone gets a radio and everyone comes running to save the day. In reality, it's the same three or four young macho coach cowboys and admin running to do....what? No one has had any training in de-escalation or self-defense, the female teachers see a fight and they run to get a male, it's all just reacting and not very good reacting at that. I spent this past year at a very good high school complete with resource officer and good hall monitoring, but then when something goes down, it all collapses and turns into a disorganized scene from a western movie. I'm a 62-year-old male who proudly has never had a fight in their classroom or in front of their class because I run a tight (loving) ship. I have had female teachers for years say why didn't you go into that fight and break it up? Well, why didn't you, I reply. You've had the same amount of training (zero) over the years that I've had! Breaking up altercations is NOT part of any teacher's job description, yet that social expectation
So, my district just announced that next year students can't bring Stanleys or other metal tumblers to school. They've been used in fights and to smuggle weapons, vapes, and alcohol into schools, they are loud when they get dropped and kids steal them from each other. Parents are absolutely livid. Kids can bring clear plastic water bottles only. All our schools have water fountains and water bottle refill stations. I sort of get the microplastics angle, but most students seem to subsist mostly on a combination of takis, Celsius/Monster, fast food, and Starbucks, so I'm a little incredulous. Parents appear madder about this than the actual deaths of students to violence over the last couple years. Is this just basic selfishness? Do the parents only care now because it affects their kid? For what it's worth, the kids don't seem to care. Anyways, just curious if anyone else had experienced anything like this in their proverbial neck of the woods?

edit: let me amend the title to “what do you THINK you would do?” because obviously you can’t know how your body will react until it happens. anyways onto the post…. I’m a new teacher (just finished my first year) and it seems like there’s an unspoken expectation that if there was an active shooter in your classroom, you should sacrifice yourself for your students or else you’re a failure and would be painted as a selfish coward. I’ve seen teachers lauded as heroes in the news for taking a bullet for their students, but it sort of feels like that subconsciously raises the standards for all other teachers to do the same. I don’t know, i’m just confused and concerned about if god forbid that were ever to happen at my school. Sorry if this topic is not allowed for this sub, but it’s something that’s been on my mind. another edit: let me be clear before this post gets more attention—this is not me saying teachers should leave their students out to dry, or that i would ditch my students and
I work in probably the best elementary school in my district, which isn't saying much, because my district is a mess. Behaviors are a mess, classroom teachers are laden with insane standards despite it, and there is often little support and more pressure from admin. As the music teacher, I feel like I have a lot more freedom in how I do things, but still little support. (Our beginning band is heterogeneous, and we meet once a week, and I haven't been given other options for rehearsals, despite offering my own ideas and being willing to take time out of my plan period.) I still get lots of freedom in how I structure my lessons, what I teach, and how I teach it. I don't mind preparing for required performances; I have the mindset that I will work with whatever I am given, and I am grateful for what I have (it's more than what I had compared to my last school). I know my situation isn't the same as everyone else's, and I don't expect everyone to feel the way I do. You can imagine that the

I am a relatively new RN and just got my first capstone student. She has been a paramedic in our hospital's (as in the hospital we both work at and she's doing her clinicals at) emergency department for 10 years. She is amazing at being a paramedic and already did half her capstone in the ED. She is more experienced than me in so many ways, she does ultrasound IVs (which I don't know how to do), gives meds and knows her pharm, knows way more about respiratory stuff, and has honestly taught ME so, so much. She's super humble and not at all like "I already know how to do that🙄", she's going to be an incredible nurse. However, I still want her clinical experience with me to be valuable.

Picture it. You work night shift. It’s 7:30am and you’ve been watching the day shift nurse look up all his patients for the last 20 minutes instead of offering to take report. Right then at 7:30am, your patient calls and says they had a BM - you’ve been waiting for a stool sample.

Nursing school spends so much time prepping you for the Level 1 trauma scenario — crashing patient, alarms going off, ten people in the room, attending there in two minutes, everything runs by protocol. Then you graduate and end up at a 200-bed community hospital and it's 2am, your patient's O2 sats are trending down, and it's just you, one other nurse, and a phone call to the on-call doc who's barely awake. I've actually learned more about trusting my own assessment in the last year than I did through all of clinicals combined. But I wish someone had told me that "real nursing" for most of us doesn't look like an ER episode. It looks like standing in a dimly lit room at 3am trying to figure out if that subtle change is something or nothing.

Hi. I am a teacher who is heavily sleep deprived after a stressful end-of-semester. Tuesday was our last day of school. We had a End-Of-Year wrap up party at the local pub and our Principal also seemed TIRED and kept just saying "I am really excited this year is done and that we can all put this crappy year behind us." Wednesday, I had a crap-ton of chores to do and errands to run, and was house sitting so had to go check on my mother-in-laws house and fix some things for her. Even on our days off, we are still adults with complex and busy lives. Finally had my first day "off" today and somehow slept in until 11am. I definitely needed that! But my eyes were so extremely puffy! My under eye bags have looked super puffy for weeks as I've been tired and stressed and just drainedddd. But they looked even worse this morning after finally getting a good night's sleep (probably over-slept a bit, but I finally feel alive again today!)

Hi everyone, I’m unable to really ask this question to my coworkers because I don’t have any (we all work different shifts). I am a home health nurse to 1 young child who receives home health nursing via Medicaid. I’m new to home health nursing. My question is this, how much are pediatric home health nurses doing that is more in the parenting/babysitter realm? These parents expect me to play and read to their child all day, we don’t go outside, we don’t do activities, it’s a really really long day. When I’m with my own child, I don’t even play with them 7a-7p with NOTHING else to do. The parents also leave the house entirely for hours and hours sometimes to go to the movies, do other things.

31M Bay Area nurse here. 6+ years experience in inpatient psychiatry; adult, adolescent, pediatric, and chemical dependency. To get down to brass tacks, I absolutely despise my career. I originally got into nursing because I spent four years at community college with no real ideas, I was good at biology, and I needed a job that paid more than minimum wage. Nursing was sold to me as a rewarding, well paid career with a reasonable work life balance and time to figure out what I actually want to do with my life. I initially sort of enjoyed it, but after six years of being repeatedly assaulted by people who don’t want my help and dealing with our satanic management, I’m officially at my wits’ end. I want out. Not just out of psych, but out of the whole circus. Unfortunately, six years of psych experience doesn’t exactly scream “hire me!” To any other nursing jobs, let alone jobs that don’t involve nursing at all. I make about four times as much money as my partner, so a significant reducti
This was a while ago at the end of my first full year of teaching. At the end of the year we had a promotion ceremony for our 8th graders who were moving on to high school. Before the ceremony all of us teachers were minding the hallways of the venue and helping direct students. One of my bright but somewhat disruptive students walked up to me with his parents. "Mom, Dad, this is Mr. Real_Accident. He's the one who told me I needed to get my head out of my ass." I froze, fully panicking. I was convinced I was going to get in some sort of trouble. The dad just looked at me, looked at the kid, looked back at me. Then he nodded his head and walked away. submitted by /u/Real_Accident_3350 [link] [comments]
